Looking out my dinette window this afternoon, I noticed a movement in the Ocotilla in the rock garden. I thought it was a woodpecker and got out the camera. Sure enough, it's a Female Gila Woodpecker, and this is the first time I've gotten a photo of one. She jumped on the hummingbird feeder and hung on while she had quite a few drinks of the nectar. Then she flew back to the Ocotilla and pecked on it, then back to the feeder. She's a beautiful bird.

| I have such a gorgeous view. :) |

| Isn't she beautiful? |
And look who else entered the scene while I was watching the woodpecker:
 |
| It looks like his cheeks are full of seed. |

| I'm going to be able to enjoy squirrel antics again this year. :) |
This site has better critters that the first one. I thought when I moved I might not get the good hummers and other birds that were over there, but this is even better. With winter coming, I'm sure more birds will be flying in for the season, too. I haven't seen any quail yet...
From Me and Katie, have a good Monday night, everyone! :)
